The factor that led to the United States' acquisition of Florida from Spain was when Jackson invaded Florida. He had been sent to patrol the Florida- Georgia border to stop the attacks being organized in Florida and targeting plantations and farms in Georgia and the Carolinas. Jackson, despite orders, crossed the border to go after the outlaws and effectively invaded Spanish territory. Luckily, Spain was more concerned for other territories and places and had begun to see Florida as a drain. This allowed for the Adams-Onis Treaty and war to be avoided.

A factor that led to the acquisition of Florida from Spain was that Andrew Jackson led an army to invade Florida, subsequently killing British agents.

At this time the Spanish people already began to see the area as a burden. They refused to continue to invest their money on the area.

The Seminole were attacking the natives in the area and the Spanish could do little to hold them back.

The United States and Spain ended up signing a treaty called the Adams Onis treaty and East Florida was handed over to the united states.
